I am a fan of both Diane Lane and John Cusack, so I liked this movie. Bought it for my collection. After a divorce, Lane's character finds it difficult to find a decent guy to date. She even answers a personal ad in the local paper that turns out to be her dad! Her sister secretly puts a personal ad online for her and the replies begin to come in. Her sister then shows them to her and convinces her to try going on a few dates. One after another, they don't seem to fit. After more than a few tries, she finds one guy (Cusack) interesting, but things just keep getting in the way. Another guy kisses her in front of him, her brother is at her house drunk, etc... So things seem to cool between them. But he's on her mind all the time. She sees him one night while she's out with friends and runs to catch up to him, only to find him with another lady. Maybe it wasn't meant to be after all? Or will love find a way? The ending was cute and romantic, but you'll have to watch to find out if it works out!
I love this movie ! I first saw it on TV and immediately went to ebay to find and buy it. This comedy is very sensitively and realistically written.You can instantly identify with the characters who are recently divorced and reluctantly entering the dating scene again. The short scenes showing some of Diane Lane's first dates are hilarious - I went out with these guys myself - and so must the writer of this comedy ! It is all the best of romantic modern comedy plus love story with out unnecessary bad language , nudity , or obscenity . I cannot recommend this movie enough.A must share with any friend who is going through this trying to date again situation.
The movie was soooooooooooo predictable. I had a hard time staying interested. I honestly found it trite. Unfortunately. The acting was okay. But the plot was dull, in my opinion and as I said, the story line was totally predictable. I am not sure I can even put my finger on what was so wrong here... the slow movement of the movie? The lack of chemistry between the actors? Ay ay ay! I would recommend a hundred other romances over this one. Sorry!
The movie was in great condition. Shipping was fast & price great! I would truely buy again.Commuication was fantastic. I tell all my friend & family about eBay. I could never get the products {new at that} for these prices. I think this concepet is a great ideal. Keep up the great work!!!!
It was entertaining and a cute movie. I would recomend this movie. Sit back and enjoy. This was one of those movies you would like to buy and see over severl times.
Must Love Dogs, adapted from the novel by Claire Cook, follows Sarah a preschool teacher and divorc�e who is attempting to find the perfect man to fill a missing void in her life, and her family is only too eager to help. Soon her sister has put her profile on ****.com where she receives many messages from interested men. Soon enough she meets Jake, a boat builder who finds her utterly enthralling; however, while Jake is vying for Sarah�s attention so is another man: Bob, a father of one of Sarah�s students. The story is simple and predictable, but it works; mainly because it provides many laughs throughout the duration of the movie and one or two (or three) really hilarious scenes.
Another reason Must Love Dogs works so well is because it features some great performances from its cast. Diane lane is phenomenal as Sarah. One can clearly see her struggle between wanting a man back in her life so she will not have to go through the rest of it by herself and then not wanting to put herself in a position where she can be hurt like she was in her marriage. While her performance will not garner her an Oscar nomination she should at least receive a Golden Globe nomination for Best Leading Actress in a Comedy. Dermot Mulroney (Bob) and John Cusack (Jake) also do well as Sarah�s love interests. Dermot Mulroney is good, but he does not really have a scene to shine in. John Cusack has more of a role to play in the film; he shares some great chemistry with Diane Lane and has a good screen presence. Christopher Plummer plays Diane Lane�s father, and he does a really good job, especially in one scene where he is really able to shine. Also good in their supporting roles are Elizabeth Perkins, Ali Hillis, and Stockard Channing.
Overall. Must Love Dogs is a charming comedy that audiences should enjoy. The story, while predictable, is fun no matter how predictable it is. Diane lane turns in a captivating performance while her supporting cast also performs respectably. Must Love Dogs is one of only a few well-executed comedies of the year, and it should not be missed.
This is a wonderful movie and a "must see" for all you romantics. It is comical and sweet. I had to have it in my collection of movies and have purchased it as gifts for my friends and family. This online dating romantic comedy is a must see for all you hopeless romantics.
This is a movie that will be watched over and over again. Characters are great and the story was even better. 'Must Love Dogs' is a "must-have" movie and dog lovers will feel like they are part of the movie.
Love this movie, I can watch it over and over again. Diane Lane and John Cusack are two of my favorite actors, and the rest of the staff is fun too. Great movie.
I bought it because I love comedy and I heard this was good. I did enjoy it very much but I thought it moved a bit slow. Wish the charaters could have added a bit more - Like "AS Good As It Gets"
I WOULD HIGH RECOMMEND THIS INSPIRATIONAL MOVIE TO ANYONE, WHO APPRECAITE FREEDOM. I GOT TO ADMIT THE TALE OF THIS STORY WAS INCREDIBLE. IT GIVE ME A DEEP THOUGHT ON HOW AND WHAT WE DO IN LIFE CAN CHANGE IN AN INSTANT. LIFE HAS ITS FUN YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN DAY TO DAY. THERE ARE SO MANY TWIST AND TURNS. I AM GREATFUL WHAT I HAVE. WE ARE PUT ON EARTH FOR SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. WE GOT TO USE EVERY DAY, MINUTES AND SECONDS TO THE MAX.
Very cute and entertaining. Just a good old-fashioned romance. This has you laughing your behind off at times, as well as almost bringing you to tears. I'm sure I will watch this many more times.
We rented this movie first and I just had to own it! Finally, a movie without bad language and 'in yer bed' scenes. Its a movie to watch and re-watch to remember the kind of people we once were.
